Chapter 252
…
"Heh, even if we were to divide them by strength, you and I both have light-type talents and are weak in combat. How much more points can you get than me? Besides, in terms of professional ability, I'm not necessarily weaker than you." Mu Jiao responded to Lina's insinuation without hesitation. There was no reason for her to tolerate her constant madness.
Besides, the field training hadn't even begun yet. Mu Jiao's experience in two orphanages had taught her one thing: when facing someone who wanted to bully you, it didn't matter whether you could defeat them or not, but you had to be assertive from the start. Even if you felt nervous inside, you couldn't show any fear. You had to be assertive and show them you weren't going to be easily bullied. If you started showing nervousness, they'd think you were easy to bully, and they'd escalate and become even more aggressive.
Instead of doing this, it's better to fight to the end. Humph, if you don't accept it, then fight. Who's afraid of who? Even if I can't beat you, I will still make your face bleed!
Moreover, as for Lina, although she didn't know her, she had often run into her on the track in the training area for the past month. It was easy to imagine what kind of students went running laps on the track after training. Although Lina didn't report to school every day like her, she would still go six or seven times out of ten, which showed that her talent wasn't that strong.
"Mu Jiao, what do you mean? You've been at the bottom of the class this month, and you still have the nerve to say you're better than me?!" Lina was still arrogant.
"In that case, why don't we have a competition?" Mu Jiao directly proposed a competition to Lina.
Mu Jiao was calm, even a bit eager to try. After her physical strength level increased, she'd been feeling like her innate abilities were about to break through a barrier, but she couldn't find the right moment. Furthermore, the previous month's military training had focused primarily on physical fitness, and she hadn't been able to use her innate abilities in a while, so she was worried they'd become rusty.
If Lina accepted the challenge, she could have a good fight. Mu Jiao was rubbing her hands in her heart, eager to give it a try.
Bowen noticed the eagerness to fight in Mu Jiao's eyes and was slightly surprised. Although Mu Jiao's appearance was indeed impeccable, Bowen knew that his master was not a person who cared about appearances. If he was to judge by appearance, his master would be better off looking at himself in the mirror.
Originally, he had been wondering why his master would fall for this weak and powerless little girl. Now that he saw her, he seemed to understand a little bit.
Mu Jiao looked at Lina with a fighting spirit in her eyes, but Lina was reluctant to accept Mu Jiao's proposal.
Looking at Mu Jiao's almond-shaped eyes, full of fighting spirit, Lina was a bit timid. Although she had a light-type talent, her talent level was only C-level, and her mental and physical strength levels were also C-level. If it weren't for her awakened talent and her hard work, she would never have had the chance to be admitted to the Imperial United University.
Mu Jiao had been at the bottom of the test every time for the past month, but she wasn't much better. Furthermore, seeing how confident Mu Jiao was, she might just be lacking in physical strength, but her mental strength was quite high, which meant her innate ability wouldn't be low. Although she had awakened her light-type innate ability, it was only an awakening, and she hadn't even developed any decent innate skills...
Lina's face flushed, then paled, neither agreeing nor refusing. Bowen admired her embarrassment for a moment before finally speaking: "Well, classmates, it's getting late now. A sparring match would definitely waste a lot of time. Why don't you two meet after military training?"
Bowen proposed to stop the competition, Lina hurried down the stairs, and Mu Jiao had to agree with regret.
Bowen continued, "Lina advocates for distribution based on ability, but I still insist on an equal distribution. If other students have any suggestions, feel free to raise them. If not, why don't we just let the majority rule and decide by a show of hands."
